God's Poetry Soothes Best

God's Poetry Soothes Best

God this universe He did weave,
long before ever an Adam and Eve.
Words he spoke created the all,
so long before man's great fall.

Those words hidden from our view
yet our poetry gifts a great clue.
In poetry's heart our souls rest,
we gift in it our love the best.

Our words strive to match God
seeking such a wonderful nod.
Spiritual bliss to one and all,
serenity if man will only call.

Who can resist words of love,
prayer and pleas to God above.
Thought that he spoke same,
honored man with love and name.

Universe we have to explore,
we poets must seek that door.
The one that sings poetic praise
heart contented , soul to raise.

Never can we forget our place,
poets lead into this epic race.
Words sent to reach out to him,
lights so bright and never dim.

Poetry that way trying to reach, 
giving love as we seek to teach.
Man seeks to give God a reply,
God loves all , we wonder why?

Timothy Hicks March 8, 2016 at 10:43 PM God loves all, we wonder why ... this question is rather unfathomable to me. But it's beautiful to think about. A thoughtful poem of introspection, with spirituality being its major theme. Good work. I think this is the first non-sonnet that I've read from you.
